Rangers coach explains big change which is benefitting Ryan Kent
Danny Owen @danny8195
@danny8195
Ryan Kent scored his first two goals as a permanent member of Steven Gerrard's squad in the Scottish Premiership win over Hamilton Academical.
Rangers have been trying to encourage Ryan Kent to test out his shooting boots from long-range since he returned to Ibrox over the summer, first-team coach Michael Beale has told the club's official TV channel.
The jet-heeled winger finally scored his first goals for The Gers since his £7 million permanent move from Liverpool on Sunday, netting a brace to fire Steven Gerrard's side to yet another Scottish Premiership victory away at Hamilton Academical.
His first of the goal was a joy to behold; Kent cutting inside before lashing a rocket of a shot into the top corner from 25 yards. Even Accies boss Brian Rice called it a 'wonder-strike'.
And Beale, who knows Kent from their time together at Anfield, admits that the early Goal of the Season contender was a result of some fine-tuning behind the scenes.
"Since coming back, he'd hit the post a couple of times and got a couple of assists, but it was really important for him to get off the mark," Beale said.
"He's been shooting more from distance, which is something we've been trying to do as a team. I'm so pleased for him."
This change in approach is clearly benefiting Rangers, who have netted some truly stunning goals in big games this season. Think Sheyi Ojo's blockbuster against Feyenoord and Alfredo Morelos' left-footed rocket at home to Porto in the Europa League.

And when you consider that Gerrard made long-range wonder-goals his trademark for Liverpool and England, this change of emphasis should come as no real surprise.

LabStorm: Ask the Right Questions, Reach the Right People
LabStorm Recaps
Facilitator: Neli Esipova February 3, 2017
"Imagine a ladder with steps from 0 to 10, with 0 being the worst case scenario and 10 being the best; on which step of the ladder do you currently stand?"
This question sets the stage for our most recent LabStorm. At first glance, it's a simple question engaging citizens on overall happiness, fulfillment, and success. But if each component is highly subjective, how then can one country's ranking be compared against another?
The Gallup World Poll paints a detailed picture of the social and economic issues affecting people in every corner of the Earth. Having conducted interviews in over 160 countries, Gallup annually covers over 99% of the world's population. They get to the heart of what are good and bad jobs in a country, assess societal instability, and analyze the role of citizen engagement. From there, they help clients around the world make informed decisions on how to improve the lives of citizens around the globe.
Gallup asks the same set of core questions in every country, creating a comprehensive, globally comparable system. Last week, Neli Esipova brought the World Poll to a LabStorm to continue refining the most essential elements of a successful qualitative interview process: asking the right questions and reaching the right people.
The World Poll collects data spanning a dozen topics, from government and politics to general well-being through, in the majority of cases, in-person interviews. And yet, despite the exhaustive set of questions and intentional household model, some answers just don't make sense. Gallup is interested in exploring cost-effective ways of using citizen feedback to dive more deeply into results data sets that surprise them.
Let's reflect back on the life evaluation "ladder" question, and the complications of qualitative research. During the LabStorm, Neli shared the answer of a 60 year old woman living in a Southeast Asian slum. Squatting over her cookstove, the woman matter-of-factly answered the interviewer: "ten". Why, they wondered, did she give the highest possible ranking to her quality of life? To her, the answer was simple: "I have a husband who loves me, a son who respects me, and enough money to dye my hair and give to charity – what more could I want?"
This story highlights the necessity of re-contacting interviewees with follow-up questions. Having a deeper understanding of the respondent's opinions will aid Gallup's ability to transform their responses into policy recommendations. Our LabStorm attendees had several ideas to refine how that is done, and help Gallup close the loop with survey respondents.
Establish automated follow-ups. Technology creates avenues to increase responses in a cheaper and less time consuming ways. Automated voice calling (like IVR) reaction recognition software, and transcription software provide opportunities for designing follow-ups that might be less resource-intensive than training Gallup staff or contractors to conduct them. These follow-ups could focus on a specific question that arose from initial interviews and provide further insight as it relates to policy outcomes.With IVR, it could be possible to automate a series of questions asking respondents to react to initial outcomes; for example: "80% of respondents think X is true, do you agree?" In developed countries, reaction recognition software, like the kind employed by UX designers during website testing, reduces the burden of training new interviewers for every project. Instead, this kind of software could be used to capture respondents' reactions as they take a survey for later bulk analysis. In this way, the follow-up conversations could provide a more nuanced understanding of respondents' reactions and translate into better decision-making. Finally, transcription softwares could be used to more quickly analyze qualitative data for sets of keywords and emotional markers, in order to more efficiently recognize trends.
Engage journalists. Journalists are trained in the art of the interview, and may be well equipped to engage participants in the interpretation of the data itself. Instead of Gallup needing to train an army of qualitative researchers to perform follow-ups, they may be able to partner with journalists, who already have the skills needed to engage in these kinds of conversations, and who might like the chance to break new ground on emerging or curious polling data. Organizations like Internews believe storytelling is a powerful way to connect citizens to the news and information they need to make their voices heard; partnering with Gallup could be an interesting and rigorous way of learning about people's views on a wide variety of topics.
Establish an alternative to classic polling. Recent political outcomes – like Brexit and the US Presidential election – could not be accurately predicted by with traditional polling measures. Organizations like Sentimetrics instead analyze information from people who do not know they're being polled: namely, Twitter usage. Social media activity has the potential to predict societal change before it happens. Social media analysis would limit Gallup to testing in countries with high penetration of the internet, but it is a practice that, if established now, could gather data effectively as the use of social media continues to spread.
We are excited to learn more from Gallup as they test out new strategies for engaging their constituents. Want to stay involved?

Student discovers potential financial aid scam
Story by Monica Baltich
A small California-based company named College Financial Advisory has been sending letters to Wisconsin students claiming to help them find financial aid opportunities for a fee.
Freshman Aaron Hrad received such a letter over winter break at his home in Phillips, Wis. He said the letter seemed very official until he looked closer at the fine print.
"I noticed that it required a processing fee of $59," he said, "and I've never had to pay a fee for scholarships and stuff before so it was kind of the first red flag."
He decided to do some research about CFA. Hrad discovered that it was in fact a real company but the address was not for a processing center like the letter claimed, but a postal drop box in San Diego, Calif.
"They seemed to be teetering on the edge of being tricky and illegal," he said. "They had my personal information and where I went to school, but I never requested anything so it made me really suspicious."
The letter's fine print also stated that the company was not affiliated with any institution and they were not responsible for the results of their search.
Hrad's next move was to contact UW-Eau Claire's Financial Aid Office to tell them about this potential scam.
"I wanted to let them know so they could tell other students about it," he said, "because say you do fill it out and it's fake, then it prevents you from getting the real financial aid."
Financial Aid director Kathleen Sahlhoff said, once Hrad told them about CFA they notified the Federal Department of Education but is limited in what they can do about it.
"The trouble is we don't know if this company is actually running a scam so there isn't much we can do," she said. "But we can say that students at UWEC don't have to pay to get help with financial aid."
Sahlhoff feels CFA letter is particularly disconcerting because it confuses people into thinking it's official.
"It's disappointing because we encourage people to look for and trust the official ones," she said, "but they (CFA) work outside of the university so there's no way to counteract it."
However, there are measures students themselves can take to ensure they don't fall victim to a scam or pay unnecessary fees.
Sahlhoff says to watch out for any financial aid applications that require a fee because there are very few legitimate companies that require it. Also, she said, a definite red flag is if the letter promises that a certain amount of financial aid will be guaranteed.
Sahlhoff highly encourages any student needing help with financial aid to come to the office on campus. She said the staff would gladly sit down with the students and their families to help them apply.
There are plenty of free options out there for people needing help applying for aid so there is really no need for students to pay.
"It's a 'buyer beware' situation," she said. "The best rule of thumb is to check into it, that way if you choose to pay for the services, you do so fully informed."

The term ground zero describes the point on the surface of the Earth that was closest to a detonation.
In the case of an explosion above the ground, ground zero refers to the point on the ground directly below an occurrence of a detonation.
The term has often been associated with nuclear explosions and other large bombs, and is also used in relation to other events such as epidemics and earthquakes.
The term is often re-used for disasters that have a geographic or conceptual epi-centre.
This adventure game was based upon the events leading up to and surviving a nuclear attack on Great Britain.
The aim of the 'game' was to negotiate all the problems expected in such unthinkable circumstances!
The adventure-world was set in a typical British suburb and involved collecting all of the items necessary for survival.
Written using the 'Quill' system (which as a useful tool for creating text adventures), it was the final game in the classic 'Adventure' series released by Arctic computing, which had begun with 'Adventure A: Planet of Death'.
This game was 'Adventure G' and really finished the series off on a serious, sombre and very much downbeat note.
It picked up quite a lot of publicity due to the subject matter of the game, some of this publicity positive and some of it negative.
Creating a text adventure based on the subject of nuclear war, at the height of the cold war era was always going to raise some eyebrows.
Unsurprisingly the aim of the game was to survive a full scale nuclear attack.
You began the game in your own home just as the chaos was beginning.
The locations were well described (this was text only remember and no in-game graphics were present) and built up the atmosphere nicely.
You would come across neighbours in shock (I recall a man sitting in a deck chair simply staring into the sky), people looting the local shops, automated emergency broadcasts via the television and telephone and more.
In the usual style of games in this genre you had to find objects, use them appropriately and solve puzzles to advance through the game.
Would you build your own shelter or would you try to make to a more secure government bunker? What about food supplies? All of this had to be contended with as you advanced through the game.
You only had a certain amount of moves to make too, meaning you had to find safe haven before the bomb dropped, otherwise it was game over as you were vapourised in the blast.
Ground Zero, just how good was this game?
Despite the rather harrowing atmosphere this game was actually a decent text adventure that played quite well, created a believable atmosphere and did not tend to throw unreasonable puzzles at you (apart from the well known bug in the hallway of your house of not seeing the table with drawer to open).
I remember actually playing this to completion (it took me a good two or three weeks to figure out the whole game) but as you may expect, the ending to the game was cold, scary and utterly bleak.
There was more than one way to 'finish' the game, but only one way to survive the actual nuclear blast.
The games author (Colin Smith) deserves a mention for tackling such a sensitive subject within a computer game - and it did make a change from fighting wizards, warriors and orcs.
Not a bad game overall for text adventure enthusiasts.
Colin Smith was a former journalist who decided to sell his house in Dorset to raise the funds to launch this computer adventure game.
Colin was quoted "I thought that participating in the game would bring home to people the horrors of nuclear war more powerfully than any film or book,"
He also intended the game to highlight what he considered the inadequacies of the Government Protect and Survive civil defence scheme.
I must say that the game certainly achieved it's objective.
Anyone else ever play this game?

Video: Cricket's God Sachin Tendulkar Feeds A Dehydrated Bird, Makes Us Believe In Humanity
Published by Admin on 08 Jun 2018
Sachin Tendulkar who is the 'God of Cricket' is a very famous sportsperson. Sachin who is also known as the master-blaster has not only performed well in the field of cricket. He is a good human in reality as well. He has recently saved a bird who was dying because of this hot climate.
He does a lot of humanitarian work. Whether it's routing for the environment or doing charity, Sachin has always done good deeds. Even yesterday, he posted a video where he was seen feeding a dehydrated bird which landed on his balcony.
He even went on to say that the bird was attacked by crows which sickened it further. Not only did he feed the black kite with chicken and breadcrumbs, but also he called people from the NGO who specialize in treating animals. He made sure that the bird was fine and encouraged people to rescue the troubled animals. Tendulkar shared the video with a caption, "A good deed brightens a dark world. Always be up to lend a helping hand, be it to humans, birds or animals. Do your bit!"

Gepostet von Sachin Tendulkar am Donnerstag, 7. Juni 2018
These days Tendulkar's son Arjun has also been in the news for getting a call for the Sri Lankan series which is slated to happen in June. Like a proud father, Sachin expressed his happiness and said, "We are happy on Arjun being selected in India U-19 team. It is an important milestone in his cricketing life. Anjali (Tendulkar) and I will always support Arjun in his choices and pray for his success."
Arjun's coach, Atul Gaikwad, said, "Arjun's hard work has paid off. I've seen that boy very closely. From suffering back-to-back stress fractures three years ago to struggling with a spate of injuries, he has worked very hard to get here," said Gaikwad. Having remodelled his action recently after suffering several injuries, Arjun can whip up good pace, the primary reason why the selectors opted for him. "On a good day, he can consistently touch 135 (kmph)."

The stellate ganglion, a collection of nerves present on either side of the neck, is part of the sympathetic nervous system that is responsible for supplying the upper limbs, head, neck and upper chest. These nerves are not involved with feeling or movement but damage to the nerves by trauma, infection or disease conditions can lead to chronic pain. Transmission of nerve impulses across the stellate ganglion may be blocked by an injection usually containing an anesthetic to relieve painful symptoms and improve function.
The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for several involuntary processes such as blood pressure and temperature regulation as well as transmission of pain from neuropathic, vascular and visceral sources. Patients who are candidates for this procedure usually suffer from a type of neuropathic pain called complex regional pain or reflex sympathetic dystrophy in the upper extremities and sometimes the head and neck. A stellate ganglion block can help diagnose and treat this condition. It can also help manage pain in conditions such as herpes zoster, persistent angina, and vascular disorders of the upper extremities as well as help increase circulation and blood supply to the arm. If the block is effective at relieving your pain, you will be recommended for a series of injections. The duration of relief increases with each injection.
The procedure is carried out under local anesthesia and sedation. You are transported to the procedure room where you will lie down on an x-ray table with your chin slightly raised. The skin of the neck is cleansed and draped in a sterile fashion. The target site is identified using anatomical landmarks and numbed with a local anesthetic. Fluoroscopy or live X-ray imaging is then used to guide a needle precisely to the stellate ganglion. Contrast dye may first be administered to confirm placement. The medication is then slowly injected. Once the procedure is complete, you will go to the recovery area and may be free to leave after a period of monitoring.
After the procedure, you may feel some warmth in the arm and a lump in your throat along with some hoarseness. You may also develop nasal congestion and eye redness on the treated side and sometimes a headache may occur. These symptoms usually last a few hours. You should have someone drive you home following the procedure. Rest is advised for the remainder of the day and you may should be able to return to work the following day.
A common complication of the procedure is temporary pain at the injection site. Other complications such as infection, bleeding and nerve damage are rare. Stellate ganglion blocks are not indicated for those who have had a recent heart attack or those receiving anticoagulant therapy.
A stellate ganglion block can provide relief from different kinds of pain mediated by the sympathetic nervous system. For some, pain relief lasts just a few hours while others experience prolonged relief for days or weeks. Repeat injections are recommended for extended pain relief.

Electronic Sports Masters is an organisation that plans and creates Tournaments for Arma 3 and other games in the Bohemia library. In October, they are hosting an Open Tournament for 8 Teams. We've been invited to take part in this Open Tournament. This was organised between myself and @Trinoc, so you can really thank him for this opportunity! The four matches are taking place on the 13th and 14th of October and we need your help to finish our team. Each team consists of 6 players, and we want 3 reserve players.
If you want to take part, we need to know by the end of this week. The first match takes place at 19:30 CET.
And yes, this does mean our first match will be against the Bohemia Dev Squad!
I'd like to close this by reminding everyone that this is a friendly Tournament, and our goal here is to introduce ourselves and basically have a good time. So, if you want to take part then please, comment here! We'll look through all the applicants and announce the team on Sunday.
I'm not a particularly great rifleman, but if reserve slots go unclaimed then you can stick me in one.
I'll join in if possible.
Is there going to be a way to watch the games? I wouldn't mind watching it.
I would love to participate whether it be in a starting role or reserve role.
This fella. I have checked the dates and they line up with my days off so depending on how long games go I can join in.
I'd like to be part of the team. Either as a team member or a reserve will suit me fine.
Nvm, have something planned for the 13th. Would have really liked a change.
Is this streamed somewhere or...?


Gossamer Forum: Products: Links 2.0: Discussions: newest entry to front?
Hi - how do I get new links that have been validated and added to a category to appear on the top of the first page?
At the moment mine seems to put the latest entries in the bottom of the last page.
You sure? Has isNew been set to 'Yes' for those records?
where would i make that change? is it in links.def?
it should be done automatically, and a new link will be so-listed fo the time period defined in links.cfg, with a default setting of 14 days. To verify/change the setting, go through the admin, under links, modify. There will be a drop-down with the option of yes/no for isNew. Links normally sorts alphabetically, but places new links (tagged as such) before older ones. Have you made any changes to the code?
i have modified entry as 'new' and it still appears as the last entry. my entries don't seem to be alpabetical but by date with the most recent on the last page, rather than the first.
i have been trying to get this fixed for over a year so it would be great if you could help.
You posted previously about having a date problem (http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...i?post=176622#176622). Did you resolve this? Seems likely your current problem is related to this date issue.
if anyone could help i'd greatly appreciate it!
anyone know what parts of links.cfg I should change to get the newest links entries to the top of the first page?
any one know wher eyou specify getting the newest links entries to the top of first page??

THE ROCKETS DEC 30 AT THE TOKEN LOUNGE!
Let's celebrate life together!
Rock and Roll is alive, it ain't no jive.

THE ROCKETS AND THE TORPEDOS: JOHNNY A AND JOHNNY BEE
The seventies rock & roll in the Motor-city... An amazing time to be playing in the bar scene. Between Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Toledo there where only a handful of clubs and they would be packed every night.
I started a new band called The Rockets featuring Jim McCarty on guitar who was also a band mate from our first band Mitch Ryder And The Detroit Wheels. And on bass was John Fraga, and Marc Marcano on keyboards. We had no vocalist at the time and so I sang from behind the drums.
There were many musician friends who would always stop by and wanna sit in, we only allowed the musicians we knew who could play to sit in. There was a young lad that would always be hanging out and asking us to let him sit in, he had a cropped haircut like the English musicians ala The Faces and he always had on a Burgundy Velvet suit.
He was like the Mick Jagger of Detroit. Before he would sit in he'd walk into the restroom and wrap wads of toilet paper around his neck and as we started to play he would grab the mike and start singing while ripping piece's of the paper off from around his neck and he'd be throwing piece's of it at the girls on the dance floor.

And believe me I'm talking about a lot of toilet paper. The dance floor would be covered. He had it all, a rock star in the making. At the time The Rockets were managed by John Sinclair and Pete Andrews who lived in Ann Arbor.

After playing the Red Carpet one night and Johnny sitting in with us, the next day I had to go to a band meeting in Ann Arbor. It was early afternoon and I was in heavy traffic, as I was flying down I-94 just passing Metro Airport I did a double take because out of the corner of my eye....
I saw Johnny Angelos hitch-hiking on the side of the freeway with his Burgundy Velvet suit on and messed up hair in the hot sun, and I'm thinking damn that's one crazy mf. He never even went home yet and the man is heading out to sing on another gamble with love in his eyes. Johnny was a bad-ass singer who never reaped the awards he was due.
RIP my brother. Much love, Johnny Bee Badanjek
From Ricky Ratt's Article: Fallen Angelos
Detroit Guitarist Robert Gillespie and Johnny Angelos formed the Torpedos in October 1978, fusing their love of classic Motown soul and blues with elements of Heartbreakers and Sex Pistols punk. Gillespie says the Torpedos stood out from an emerging pack of new bands because "we had killer songs and a excellent front man in Johnny, who was like Rod Stewart, but more deviant."
They developed a following, label interest and landed choice shows with the Romantics at venues such as Cleveland's Agora ballroom and Detroit's Masonic Temple. They got some radio support from Doug Podell and Steve Kostan. Yet it was not enough.
The Torpedos broke up shortly after Angelos split in 1981. He went on to form the Reputations with guitar slinger Bobby East. The Torpedos tried to continue with Thomas Anonymous, a singer from New York.

GREASY CARLISI'S BEDPAN GUITAR: PHOTOGRAPHER KEN SETTLE
I've seen some eclectic guitars in my day, but this one takes the cake! One of the two new Rockets guitarists, Phil "Greasy" Carlisi, made this funky slide guitar using a uhmmmm, bed pan as the guitar body! If you see it from a few rows back, you might think it's an old Vox teardrop guitar. No way buddy! This is an honest to goodness BED PAN guitar.
From Greasy:
I didn't make that bed pan guitar, I bought it at a guitar show off a
dealer for 40 bucks, so I can't take credit for making that, just credit
for having the BALLS to play it.
Phil Greasy Carlisi
Carlisi played with the MC5's Dennis "Machinegun" Thompson and toured and played with Niagara Detroit,legendary Stooges members, Ron and Scott Asheton as part of Dark Carnival. He also put in time with latter day rockabilly legend, Robert Gordon (check out his version of Springsteen's "Fire.") as well as British guitarist Chris Spedding.

(Bloomberg) -- SoftBank Group Corp. is changing the lineup for its annual corporate conference this year, adding top executives from companies like Microsoft Corp. and curtailing the number of leaders from its own portfolio companies.SoftBank World, which usually takes place in July, was pushed back this year because of the coronavirus pandemic to late October. The chief executive officers of Microsoft, International Business Machines Corp., Adobe Inc. and Zoom Video Communications Inc. are scheduled to participate, according to a notice posted online.Founder Masayoshi Son has used the forum in recent years to showcase founders from startups he has invested in. Among the 2019 speakers, for example, were Oyo's Ritesh Agarwal, Grab's Anthony Tan and Paytm's Vijay Shekhar Sharma.SoftBank's startup investments have run into trouble in the past year, with writedowns at WeWork and Uber Technologies Inc. leading to a record loss in the last fiscal year.

Docomo Buyout Shows Dumb Pipes No Longer Cut It
(Bloomberg Opinion) -- Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corp.'s plan to buy out its NTT Docomo Inc. wireless unit would mark the end of an era for a company once hailed as the world's leading mobile operator. It also signals a stark new reality in the telco business: that mere connectivity isn't enough.Docomo said its board will meet Tuesday to consider NTT's proposal. That seems moot: The parent already owns 66% of the subsidiary. It's likely to offer 30% more than the share price at yesterday's close, the Nikkei newspaper reported earlier. That would be at the upper end of average premiums globally for telco deals valued at more than $5 billion in the past five years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Still, it's worth noting that prior to the news Docomo had fallen 20% below its March high and is well below its 50-, 90- and 200-day averages.This month's appointment of Yoshihide Suga as Japanese prime minister to succeed Shinzo Abe may have been a spur. Suga had been an outspoken critic of mobile data pricing before taking over the top job, and now forcing down tariffs has become an easy policy win. Going private would take Docomo out of the public spotlight as it renovates its business model and weathers that storm.Docomo's struggle was apparent even before Suga rose to the top. More than two decades ago, it amazed the world with the release of i-Mode, a mobile internet service that allowed Japanese consumers to read email and surf the web during their morning commute. Apple Inc.'s first iPhone wouldn't arrive for another eight years.I-Mode helped Docomo post annual revenue growth reaching as much as 26% and operating income gains of 42%, cementing its place as Japan's No. 1 wireless carrier. While the company has held onto that position, it has done so by cutting average revenue per user below levels at KDDI Corp. or Masayoshi Son's SoftBank Corp., the first telco in Japan to sell the iPhone.Price wars with those rivals have hurt, even amid accusations that rates remain too high by global comparison. Docomo has maintained a respectable operating margin of around 20% in recent years (it dropped to 18.4% for the year to March 30 amid the Covid pandemic). Revenue and operating income growth have slowed to a crawl, though, lagging behind competitors. The reasons can be seen in its sales breakdown, with 80% still coming from mobile services. By comparison, SoftBank owns Yahoo Japan (via a subsidiary) and gets additional revenue from fixed-line businesses. Consumer and enterprise wireless service accounts for only about half of SoftBank's sales. KDDI isn't quite as diversified, yet it's able to lean a little more on non-telecom businesses and is pushing its so-called "life design" services that include e-commerce, personal finance, entertainment and education.Then there's Rakuten Inc., which recently entered the mobile business and promises to drive prices down even further. It's doubtful whether the e-commerce company intends to make much profit from its wireless unit, instead using it as a loss-leader to drive online retail and related services. That leaves Docomo looking pedestrian as a purveyor of mobile connectivity, aka dumb pipes, like the former state-owned incumbent that it is. With the onerous costs of a 5G rollout looming and a price war set to escalate, the safest place may be back under the protection of its majority owner. Investors need not worry about NTT having to shield its subsidiary from public markets. A combined entity could leverage procurement, better integrate infrastructure and services, and streamline its balance sheet. Once the business is stabilized and profit growth returns, look for NTT to be the biggest winner from a future Docomo initial public offering.

Mercari Battles to be Profitable Leader in Japan Mobile Payments
(Bloomberg) -- Mercari Inc. wants to become the top provider of mobile payments in Japan even as its biggest rivals join forces, but that ambition is second to making the business profitable.The company's immediate focus is on improving profitability and expanding the lineup of merchants that accept payments using its Merpay service, founder and Chief Executive Officer Shintaro Yamada said in an interview. Mercari, whose second-hand market app is used by over 17 million people each month in Japan, is in no rush to compete for users with Line Corp. and SoftBank Group Corp.-backed PayPay, Yamada said.Mobile payment competition is heating up in Japan, where the government has been trying to reduce the dominance of banknotes and coins. Line, the operator of Japan's biggest messaging service, and e-commerce giant Rakuten Inc. had an early start in payments, followed by PayPay and then Mercari. PayPay -- backed by SoftBank, Yahoo Japan and India's Paytm -- took the lead by sparking a shopping frenzy with 10 billion yen ($95 million) in rebates on purchases. Now SoftBank is looking to combine Yahoo Japan with Line, while Mercari has partnered with NTT Docomo Inc., the country's dominant wireless carrier with its own payment business."This doesn't have to be a winner-takes-all market. There is no reason why it can't be more like credit cards, where no one company controls it all," Yamada said. "But if we are talking end-game, eventually, we want to beat the current No. 1 -- PayPay."Read more: Digital Money Thefts Deal Setback to Japan's Cashless DrivePayPay counts over 30 million registered customers and will soon gain access to 84 million Japanese users on Line's messaging service. Merpay, launched in February 2019, has more than 7 million monthly active users and is accepted at more than 1.6 million stores. While Mercari's user base is smaller, it has an advantage in payments because many of its customers already hold a cash balance as the result of selling goods on its app. The company, which reported a 22.8 billion yen loss for the year ended June, has said it aims to make Merpay profitable after the year ending June 2021."We have the beginnings of a business that can be tremendously profitable in the future," Yamada said. "For now, instead of expanding our user base, we are focusing on increasing profitability and synergies with the main business."For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2020 Bloomberg L.P.


Cultivate are running a #HarvestChallenge and asking customers to 'Make one Meal Local' this autumn.
We've added a new recipe to our list today which uses ingredients which are still fully available from local growers, and can be picked up from the Cultivate VegVan on a Saturday in Botley. Check it out here!


Well, the day wasn't quite as expected. But perhaps it should have been – expected, that is. I should have expected the wind.
In Ushuaia we saw a t-shirt with a road sign of a palm tree blowing sideways, like in a gale force wind. We laughed, thinking that most of our windy days were behind us. I expected the wind to abate as we headed to the mountains. But under the sign was a town name: El Calafate. In the mountains. Where we were headed today.
And it was windy, windier than we've experienced since north of Cordoba. Windy enough that I rode the side of the bike, keeping it at a crazy angle on the road to keep straight.
But, at the end, it was also beautiful. We came across a ridge to see a green, glacier-fed lake spread before the snowy peaks – we've arrived in the Patagonia mountains. And tomorrow, I hope, we'll be seeing a glacier, too.


I had an accident in my workplace?
I was sent to load 3 trailers at the sametime and I was under preasure. I think I fall and was un concious It was hard for me to wake up,I hurt my back and my head I was diagnosed with lumbar strains and head contusion. My employer says Its not work related, They said I was epileptic but the neurologist report showed no signs of being epileptic what should I do?
NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE ON THIS SITE TELLS YOU, YOU NEED TO GET A LAWYER. They will be able to let you know what you can and can't do, this sounds to me like a huge workers comp case. hire a good lawyer, you will not regret it!
get a copy of the neurologist report, write down exactly what happened at work so you won't forget and get a lawyer.
Get a personnel injury lawyer..they LOVE cases like yours!
If it happened at work while performing your duties, it's work related. Contact the labor board for your area and start there. Your employer CANNOT diagnose you; so if they are claiming you had an epileptic seizure, a doctor would need to agree with that.
But if you feel you cannot continue working, or are havin to much pain, you might want to file for disability or workers comp, while you get better.
your injuries sound serious and you shouldnt let your employer jip you. they are tryn to fool you, but you need to be one step ahead.

Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) is the obvious superhero role model for all girls around the world. How quickly and fickly we have forgotten Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Lucy Lawless as Xena (technically not a superhero – but you get the drift) or Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow.
But when it comes to successful merchandising, having a 'first' of something is most important: not the first female superhero, not the first female lead, not the first female Marvel superhero, but rather the first Marvel female lead superhero. It occurred to me as I watched the character Monica Rambeau, daughter of Carol Danvers' (aka C. Marvel's) friend Maria (Lashana Lynch), swanning around in awe of Captain Marvel that there will soon enough be the first Marvel female black superhero lead. But, why kill two birds with one stone when you can merchandise over both. Sure enough, we'll have the first something or the other leading another Marvel universe escapade in the not too distant future as we destabilise the status quo of white male Marvel superheroes (Antman, Captain America, The Hulk, Doctor Strange, Spiderman, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Thor and so forth).
But cynicism aside, we are grateful for the eventual evolution. As with the release of Black Panther, which saw a campaign to raise money for disadvantaged children to see the film at a cinema, the release of Captain Marvel has seen Brie Larson campaigning for the #CaptainMarvelChallenge raising more than $60,000 to send young women to see the film.
Here are films changing the message being sent to young people, and additionally changing the experience. It is of course all in line with the humanitarian messages of Stan Lee and friends' creation of the Marvel Universe.
The thinly veiled plot of refugees, in Captain Marvel, is one that is as relevant as ever. It is a universal issue that developed nations are dealing with. This film asks people to look past the media and/or political veil that paints refugees as 'evil' and poses the more confronting questions about whether those leading us and informing us are 'evil'.
Captain Marvel is not just another beat in the over arching story of the Avengers films' plots; Captain Marvel is a story for our time, a hero for our time and for the children of our time.

PewDiePie Was Briefly Banned from Twitter for Saying He Was Joining ISIS
Brofist!
by Carlton Férment
September 1, 2016, 10:42am
Photo by Flickr user CamKnows (via)
The world's most popular YouTuber, Felix Kjellberg, AKA PewDiePie, AKA Pewds, got his Twitter account suspended for all of five minutes after he said he had joined ISIS. The 26-year-old Swedish gamer, who has 47,617,653 subscribers on YouTube at the time of writing, tweeted that "Me and @Jack_Septic_Eye [an Irish YouTuber who also plays a lot of games on camera] have joined isis. Which is why we both got unverified." Mr Septic-Eye replied that he claimed he had joined the Nazi party, not ISIS.
According to Twitter rules, accounts giving props to "organisations and individuals associated with promoting hate" are quick to receive the ban hammer, even if those accounts belong to the wildly popular creator of the term "brofist". Though it's probably clear to Pewds' 4.9 million followers that he wasn't about to pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi and his caliphate, it's also nice to see that Twitter treats everyone the same. It doesn't matter if you're a Brighton-based Swedish professional video game player who is literally a millionaire from shouting at a screen, or just your average street level schmuck – if you tweet that you're going to join the Islamic State, Twitter will take you down to Chinatown, baby!
Though Pewds' account was reinstated, the collateral damage was his verified tick, which he has now shirked. In a video explaining the whole commotion, he insists that verified accounts are not cool any more, and that "Globified" is the way forward, signalled by a globe emoji next to his name.
Poor old Pewdie also had to make a video recently telling people to stop coming to his house because it's really weird, which is fair enough, because if a bunch of brofist creeps starting turning up at my door, screaming and spitting half-chewed Jaffa Cake at me, I'd be pretty pissed off too.

In order to continue and refine this energy saving policy a National Gallery Carbon Management Plan (CMP) 17 has been developed to incorporate measures which will reduce CO2 emissions in accordance with Government targets and describe ways in which these measures will be financed.
In preparing this plan the National Gallery participated in the Carbon Trust's Central Government Carbon Management 18 Pilot Scheme, a ten-month programme involving various workshops, 'webinars' and peer-to-peer sessions that guided the organisation through the steps thought necessary to create a framework for energy saving projects and for gaining institutional support.
Over the last seven years energy awareness presentations have been given to all departments within the National Gallery and these issues are regularly reinforced through a dedicated Sustainability Carbon group. The aim is to help extend commitment to all levels of operational management, to continue to increase awareness, to improve internal communication and to ensure momentum is maintained.
The CMP has defined a strategy to achieve a 43% reduction in emissions by 2015, identified through various initiatives, surpassing the Government target in terms of the overall level of emissions and the timescale of the reductions.
As noted above, the baseline year for the Gallery's Carbon Reduction target was set at 2005, when Gallery emissions totalled 9417 tonnes of CO2 19. To achieve our target, emissions need to be reduced to 5437 tonnes CO2 by 2015. From 2005 the CMP, including some of the projects listed above, has allowed the National Gallery to achieve savings of 1698 tonnes CO2 up to the period 2009-2010. This represents a reduction of 18% on the baseline carbon emission tonnage. The remaining savings required represent a further 2316 tonnes CO2 reduction, to meet our target of a 43% overall decrease by 2015.
CO2 Targets (in red) and Emissions (in green), for The National Gallery between 2005 and 2015.
One of the most successful carbon saving initiatives involved the replacement of six, twenty year-old, reciprocating central air cooled chillers 20 over a three year period from 2009.
While considering all modern alternatives it was established that, with its increased efficiency, the Airedale Turbocor centrifugal chillers 21 would be the best option. With the high level of energy savings that could be achieved 22, taking account of rising utility costs, the capital investment required proved more than justified. The estimated savings for all six chillers is some 600 tonnes CO2 per annum. These chillers also offer the benefit of having frictionless bearings and are oil-free, preventing any possible contamination to the refrigerant. They also run relatively quietly, and are virtually vibration free when operating at full capacity, which is an advantage in central London.
The remainder of the National Gallery target CO2 savings will be achieved through additional projects now being planned or already in progress.
16. A characteristic of fluorescent lamps is that their efficacy (lumens/watt) increases with frequency. Increasing the frequency of operation from that of the normal mains supply of 50/60Hz to typically 30KHz improves lamp efficacy by approximately 10%. The high-frequency mode results in low power loss at the cathodes which means more power is available in the arc. The other benefit is that low-frequency fittings have been linked with flickering of lamps and this is reduced with high-frequency units.

Eriksen scores pinpoint free-kick after Euro 2020 cardiac arrest
He's still got it! Christian Eriksen smashes a free-kick into the top corner, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance… as free agent steps up recovery after Euro 2020 cardiac arrest after revealing he wants to play at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar
Playmaker Christian Eriksen has been continuing his work on the training pitch
He showed he's still got it by whipping in a quality free-kick into the top corner
Ex-Inter Milan and Spurs star has been honing his skills at Swiss club Chiasso
Eriksen is a free agent after the Serie A giants terminated his contract last month
Christian Eriksen has been continuing his work on the training pitch and showed he's still got it by whipping in a quality free-kick into the top corner.
The former Inter Milan and Tottenham star has been honing his set-piece skills at Swiss club Chiasso after being released by the Serie A side following his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020.
The playmaker uploaded a video onto his Instagram page on Tuesday of himself leaving the goalkeeper with no chance with a pinpoint free-kick from outside the 18-yard box.
Christian Eriksen has been continuing his work on the training pitch and showed he's still got it
Eriksen is a free agent after Inter terminated his contract last month with the midfielder unable to play with a defibrillator fitted.
The 29-year-old hopes to resume his career after suffering a cardiac arrest playing for Denmark against Finland at Euro 2020 in the summer.
He recently revealed he aims to play for Denmark at this year's World Cup less than seven months after he collapsed on the pitch.
Eriksen received life-saving treatment on the pitch at Copenhagen's Parken Stadium last summer before being taken to a nearby hospital, where he was fitted with an ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator).
He has not played competitively since suffering a cardiac arrest during Denmark's Euro 2020 clash with Finland on June 12 last year (above)
Eriksen, 29, was in hospital receiving treatment for six days before being released back in June
The ICD is connected to the heart by wires and sends an electrical pulse in order to correct irregular rhythms.
Rules in Italy state that people with a defibrillator like Eriksen has are not allowed to play contact sport. But the 29-year-old could theoretically continue his career in another country, with different rules.
His representative Martin Schoots told Sportsmail: 'It is going really well for Christian. He had all the medical checks just before Christmas and the results were so good that we expect him to be involved in a group training with a team some time later in January.
'But I would prefer Christian to talk about this himself and he will do so very soon.'
The 29-year-old's contract with Serie A giants Inter Milan was terminated in December
Eriksen hopes to resume training with a European club in January. He has had interest from the Premier League, as well as from clubs in Denmark and Holland.
Speaking for the first time since the events of last summer, Eriksen made clear he expects to return to top-level football.
Asked about his football plans, Eriksen said in an interview with Danish outlet DR: 'My goal is to play in the World Cup in Qatar. I want to play.
'That's been my mindset all along. It's a goal, a dream. Whether I'll be picked is another thing. But it's my dream to come back.
'I'm sure I can come back because I don't feel any different. Physically, I'm back in top shape. That's been my goal and it's still some time away, so until then I'm just going to play football and prove that I'm back at the same level.'
Footballers with defibrillators
Anthony van Loo, Roeselare: The Belgian defender was allowed to continue his career after being fitted with a defibrillator. It shocked his heart back into a normal rhythm after suffering cardiac arrhythmia during a match.
He retired in 2018, aged 30, as he felt he could not return to his old performance levels.
Fabrice Muamba, Bolton: Former Arsenal midfielder Muamba's heart stopped for 78 minutes but he eventually made a recovery.
He retired five months later without having returned to football. He did, however, play 15 minutes in Ian Goodison's testimonial match.
Daniel Engelbrecht, Stuttgarter Kickers: The striker collapsed on the pitch against Erfurt but returned to the professional game aged 24 after 17 months, against numerous doctors' advice.
He scored against Wehen Wiesbaden, becoming the first footballer to score with a defibrillator. However, he retired in 2018 to move into coaching when he found out the device had brought him back to life three times.
Daley Blind, Ajax and Holland: Blind was fitted with a pacemaker after complaining of dizziness in a Champions League match against Valencia in December 2019.
He subsequently collapsed in a friendly against Hertha Berlin in August 2020 but has generally enjoyed a safe return to top-level football.
Christian Eriksen, Inter Milan and Denmark: Eriksen collapsed on the pitch at Euro 2020 last summer. Although he has recovered, strict Serie A rules mean he cannot play in Italy and current club Inter Milan must sell him.
He may choose to continue his professional career elsewhere, or retire.

Home Editorials Top 4 CSGO teams you should follow in 2018
Top 4 CSGO teams you should follow in 2018
As months passed by, top esports teams that have placed in the world's CSGO ranks at the beginning of the year have entirely changed. When a competitive squad wins a prestigious esports tournament, they gain more points to rising in the leaderboards. The squad's performance will then determine the winning statistics that are gathered by top CSGO betting sites online to offer you the best info to guide you on which Counter-Strike team to follow.
After every tournament, there is always something going on, whether it's a change in the lineup, cyber athletes are still new in the unit, playing their best gameplays; however, mistakes are bound to happen. Another good reason could be that professional players want to get back in the game after their leave of inactive duty. As of Aug 2018, let's take a look at the top four CSGO teams that you should follow.
Astralis, the Star Players
At the moment, this Danish team is the most consistent showing the world who are the masters of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive after taking the title of Eleague CSGO Premier 2018. On top of this, Astralis have triumphantly conquered three Premier tournaments in 2018, the DreamHack Masters Marseille, ESL Pro League Season 7 – Finals and the Esports Championship Series Season 5 Finals.
At the start of the year, Nicolai 'Dev1ce' Reedtz rejoined the active roster after a medical leave since November 2017. Within a few months of his return, Astralis' performance improved and even better with Emil 'Magisk' Reif as part of the unit since February 2018; they are unstoppable to keep up their winning track record.
Over the past few months, the Danes have had one failure against Natus Vincere at ESL One Cologne 2018 in the Semifinals and another in the finals of IEM Sydney, losing to Faze Clan. No matter what the results have shown, Astralis seemed unstoppable having defeated Team Liquid three times lately and hope to beat other top teams in future to keep up their winning track record. Having said this, if you want the Danish team to win, use the top respectable CSGO sites to offer you the chance to follow that team the best.
Natus Vincere is Born to Win
The second world's best CSGO team in line behind Astralis is NaVi. The most successful lineup of all time, the squad indeed live up to their name, a Latin phrase which means 'Born to Win'. The disciplined team have the potential to carry games courageously. At times, their risk-taking makes their Counter-Strike performances the most impressive to watch.
Danylo 'Zeus' Teslenko calls the shots as the in-game leader that makes the Ukrainian team forceful then they have ever been, eager to make their mark in the competitive scene once again. For some time, Oleksandr 's1mple' Kostyliev was the star player NaVi had to help carry the unit play their best performances. Now things have changed, all the responsibility lies on every player in the squad who are taking a more active role that contributes to winning matches.
Their best CSGO ranking comes after accomplishments achieved by Natus Vincere, taking two premier titles the latest being ESL One Cologne 2018 and StarSeries & i-League CSGO Season 5. Another Major achievement was taking first prize at the CSGO Asia Championships 2018. The Born to Win team is a new threat to Astralis as they have shown in the recent CSGO tournament in Germany. Becoming an elite unit with strong chemistry between them, they have a chance to remain in the top spot for the rest of 2018.
Faze Clan, the Deadly Disturbers
Initially, three gamers united together through YouTube, producing 'trickshot' videos for Call of Duty, that was how the Faze Clan organisation established back in 2010. Expanding into the world of Counter-Strike, the organisation acquired the G2 Esports roster and have since been fan favourites at several esports tournaments.
Faze Clan has kept a combination of European pro players who are good at what they do, however, their signing of new gamers and dismissals has not stopped them from being the top CSGO team in the world. Having managed to reach the finals at the Eleague Major Boston 2018, Faze lost to Cloud 9 finishing in second place. In 2018, this CSGO team have achieved success to take home two premier titles, IEM Sydney outplaying Astralis and at ESL One Belo Horizonte 2018 defeating Mousesports in the Finals of both matches.
Back in April, Olof 'Olofmeister' Kjajber took a leave of absence due to personal reasons but Faze still kept on performing well with the majority of the events finishing in the top four. The temporary stand-ins Richard 'Xizt' Landstrom and Jørgen 'cromen' Robertsen together with the rest of the CS squad were talented enough to play their outstanding gameplay. It was a sufficient reason for the other team players to improve on their skills without depending too much on Olofmeister when he returned to the active roster on the 10th July.
The Swedish top rifler participated in his first competition after his comeback, the Eleague Premier 2018. Due to his inactivity, Olofmeister had to get back in the game quicker than thought, and this led to disappointing results to finish in eighth place. Only time will tell how long Faze Clan will get back on their feet to triumph at esports events, to bringing fame, fortune to lead the world's CSGO rankings.
Team Liquid's Competitive Stallions
The top North American CSGO team at the moment is Team Liquid, who have recruited the best cyber athletes to do what to do best, fight in the Counter-Strike battlefield. The squad have kept quite a consistent run through 2018, taking home the esports title of the CS Summit 2. Team Liquid has managed to finish in the Grand Finals of prestigious matches such as the Eleague CSGO Premier 2018, ECS Season 5 Finals, ESL Pro League Season 7 finals and the iBUYPOWER Invitational – Spring 2018.
Team Liquid has signed on the Brazilian player Epitácio 'TACO' de Melo and Canadian gamer Keith 'NAF' Markovic who returned to the squad after three years. Although changes did happen, Liquid's results overall are honourable, showing their capabilities and incredible gameplay even though they are not far from reaching the top three squads above them. The North American unit may not be as strong, but they can be proud that somehow they rank among the world's top tier teams.
